You have a token with one spare key which you want to use for encryption and certification. And being able to replace the encryption subkey eventually.

werner triaged T3767: simplify sharing dirmngr's across multiple GNUPGHOMEs as High priority.

Originally dirmngr was designed to be a system service for the reason that CRLs are not user specific. However, the majority of systems today are used by a single user and thus we dropped that feature when integrating dirmngr into gnupg.

Your welcome, I can remake another unified patch if need be. I was starting to prepare things to be a stand alone fork. Did an initial .travis.yml file, and initial stuff for Coverity. Though never did get a build uploaded to Coverity. Not sure if you have ever run pinentry through Coverity or other GnuPG stuff, may be a good idea just to see if it catches anything.

@werner no problem with re-opening. I closed as it seemed it was not of interest or wanted. I wasn't get any responses like asking why it was left out of 1.1.0 release. To my knowledge other than preferences of GnuPG devs, changes to suit your needs, grabbing, libsecret, etc. It should be good to go without any issues. Thus I was waiting next release, assuming it was already committed . May have confused it with some other PR that was committed. But there should not be any outstanding issues preventing it from inclusion. If there are it was never relayed to me. It should be ready for inclusion, less any requested changes.

I have not followed this bug for the last 6 months and meanwhile @justus and @neal moved on to the pEp company and are not any longer available to work on this. Although, I made the last pinentry release I do no closely follow the development. What I noticed is that we still don't have an EFL based pinentry despite that I explained them several times that I would like to see EFL in pinentry proper. I can't remember what the Mike Blumenkrantz version is or that there have been two pending versions at all. The thread is pretty long and I have note read it in its full length.

Not sure this should remain open. Months later a release was done excluding this. Originally mentioned on list in October 2016. Over a year later still not included. Very discouraging. I guess I can just see about having this external for myself. Shocking that FLTK and QTK see more usage than EFL which is part of Tizen OS. Clearly issues with either me, or EFL. Some reason it was excluded and being ignored. Seems nothing I can do either way. Oh well, I did all I could for months. On a very small contribution...

The attached patches make the necessary changes to libgcrypt and gpg-agent. A word about my change to libgcrypt. Since all of the *_secure allocation operations were hardcoded to set xhint to zero, I simply replaced that hardcoded value with a static variable. In the patches I have some sample documentation for both changes. My scheme skills are quite old, so I did not write a test case.

Here is the test case that I wrote a while back (Follow-up to Crashes with gpg-agent 2.1.18). It is written with bash in mind and creates a stand-alone GNUPGHOME directory with a pinentry routine that supplies the password (I guess I could have preset the passphrase) and then starts 200 concurrent gpg decryption requests. With GPG 2.1.18 and up, this usually exposes the out of memory situation very fast.
